Chapter 870:


    If Zoey believed her ties to Katelyn allowed her liberties at work, she was gravely mistaken. At Adams Group, a stringent anti-nepotism policy was in ce, something Vincent enforced withoutpromise. When Vincent took over, thepany was on the verge of copse due to rampant favoritism.


    The once-prosperous publicpany had been undermined by nepotism, resembling more a small family-owned business than a corporate entity in essence. Vincent had tackled these problems with an iron resolve, almost pushing Adams Group to the brink of bankruptcy. Thankfully, thepany managed to pull through.


    From that point on, an unwritten rule emerged: bringing in new hires was allowed, but strictly limited to one person. Any attempt to exceed this limit meant immediate dismissal for both parties involved.


    Katelyn didn’t underestimate Zoey or her potential. However, under the Adams Group’s strict rules, Zoey’s prospects seemed precarious.


    Tears began to pool in Zoey’s eyes as she pleaded, “Miss Bailey, just let me stay, and I’ll do whatever it takes.” Katelyn’s gaze was sharp, her mouth curling into a wry smile.


    “Are your tears an attempt to make me seem like the bully?”


    A hint of yfulness twinkled in her eyes. She now understood what it felt like to deal with ingratitude.


    Zoey quickly wiped her tears, her toneden with emotion. “It’s not about you being harsh. I just can’t help my tears. Any misunderstandings, I’ll clear them up. I won’t be a burden, Miss Bailey.”


    “This isn’t the time for such discussions. We are during working hours. Focus on passing your next exam,” Katelyn responded firmly.


    Katelyn had been ced directly into the role of design department manager at the Adams Group. She hadn’t gone through the usual interview rounds, so she wasn’t entirely sure what steps interns had to follow to secure a position at thepany.


    ???????? ???? ???????????????? ???????? ?g???????ν?????????????


    Katelyn fixed Zoey with a meaningful look, then turned and walked away without furtherment.


    At that moment, Zoey felt a surge of bitter resentment. She perceived that Katelyn was targeting her, preferring that she not remain with thepany. Zoey had once believed Katelyn to be a benevolent figure willing to lend a hand, but now she saw her as disappointingly petty. If Katelyn was threatened by the prospect of Zoey drawing Vincent’s attention, then Zoey’s resolve only hardened. Bing Vincent’s wife would allow her to outshine Katelyn.


    Katelyn entered her office and gently closed the door as realization suddenly dawned on her. She suddenly grasped why Zoey had made such a show of her emotions earlier.


    Katelyn looked up to find Vincent observing her, his gaze carrying a subtleplexity. He had removed his jacket, the sleek ck turtleneck he wore entuating his sculpted form.
